Simrud...I could not have said it better myself.

Man oh man...I 100% with you on the TT at PF...that would be crazy because he's one of our best post up players and can draw the double team (when he's into it).

MoT is a post up player as well...the thing is, we need to keep post up players on the roster if we expect to contend in the playoffs...so, that leads me to believe that Rose/Sweets coupled with Penny should get us what we need.

Though...I'm gonna miss sweets.

And holy sht...did you just say Pitino?!?!?

He'd be PERFECT.

Damn...this kool aid taste great.
I'm still sour on Pitino for leaving the first time. But he could probably make it work.

Dido:
here is one thing that many of you failed to realize...Isiah is looking to put together a running team and a very good rebounding squad also. We have versatile players that can be rotated, etc....We are now fast, and long

and that is in response to:
I think the pick of Nate means we are giving up on the 3 guard rotation idea, because with his size, he is a pure point.

We are prolly starting Q at the 3, which is fine, he is 6'6" 230, thats a lot of pounds and an inch on Spree when he played 3 for us. Plus he is an outstanding rebounder. 6 a game from the 2, he can easily sustain or up that at SF. Plust he will get to post a lot, which was his bread and butter with the Clips. Given that he is a good outside shooter, he is really a total package who needs a good coach to guide him and use him right. He is kinda a Billups type swing player that needs to be mentored to harness his skills.

With Frye at center, this is a running team, so I think Sweets is history, since he can't run. We are either gettin a 4 that can run and rebound like Gooden, or startin TT at the 4. I hope we are trading TT and Sweetney for a 4 tha can really run and rebound, and play defesne as well. Somebody like Stormile Swift? Gasol can run, too so that trade would fit the sysem well.

Considering our bench is now Ariza, Lee, JYD, and Nate, who are all running players, I'd say Mo and Rose need need to get moved, especially Mo, because Rose can run a little. After that we need to spend the MLE and the LLE in order to get a sharpshooer who can run and D up at the 2 and a mobile center who can block some shots and run. Somebody like Gadzurich/Hunter and maybe bring back Demarr?

Then finally get a coach who is a fast break coach. Considering we are deep we should press and trap, too. Maybe Pitino can be sucessfull this time around?

Dido are you pretending, or are you that dense?
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

I really don't like the idea of Q starting at the 3. I would much rather either have a lineup of Stephon Marbury and Q at the 2 with Nate and Crawford coming off the bench, or trade either Marbury or Crawford, pending on who you can get more value for, and if it's Marbury, have Crawford be the starting PG and give Nate a lot more minutes backing up. Q is solid and packed with muscle, but he wasn't a good defender in Phoenix, he wouldn't be that good at the 3 spot in the East. I'm not a big fan of tweeners anyway, so I like the idea of putting big lineups out anyway. At least big lineups that work.
